Iron Thorns (Japanese: テツノイバラ Tetsunoibara) is a dual-type Rock/Electric Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.

While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, it appears to be a futuristic relative of Tyranitar.

Biology

Iron Thorns is a large, bipedal, robotic dinosaur-like Pokémon with green metallic armor plating covering its body and limbs . Its claws, lower jaw, parts of its abdomen, and tail tip are black. Part of its torso and legs seem to be transparent, revealing a glowing green substance of some sort.

According to the paranormal magazine "Occulture", Iron Thorns has a calm demeanor and prefers to avoid unnecessary fights. It is speculated to be a Tyranitar from one billion years in the future.
